Conner Prairie is the full-afternoon anchor, with the Nickel Plate District for dinner and the Fishers Event Center for a show. Sahm's has been feeding the town for close to forty years and Okaya is the sushi locals keep quiet about. Geist Reservoir and the AgriPark cover the outdoor half, and the Nickel Plate Trail threads through town. Noblesville, Carmel and Fortville are close enough that a good plan does not stop at the city line.
